Directed by Chicago director Rob Marshall, the film will include a score by Marc Shaiman and original songs from Scott Wittman. "It's incredible so I'm proud to be a part of it," Miranda said. "And could you imagine a better Mary Poppins than Emily Blunt? Are you kidding me? I'm just so thrilled to be in that room."

Will the original Mary Poppins Julie Andrews appear in the sequel? "I don't know," Miranda said. "The script is not done yet. What I've seen I've loved, but we're still making this."

Disney has set Mary Poppins for a Christmas 2018 release.

It can't come soon enough.
